Gloss Up & Her Boyfriend Bicker Over Her Alleged Hunxho Fling On Instagram Live

by

Gloss Up is still apparently dealing with the fallout of her Hunxho scandal. To sum it up quickly, it’s basically a contentious and complex love triangle between them and Keyshia Cole, who is Hunxho’s current partner. Apparently, Gloss was still in the middle of them at a point, and she even got into a big fight with her boyfriend for him allegedly thinking that the two rappers are still linking up. She took issue with how disrespectfully he treated her and her children, whereas he took issue with how she was airing all of this out on social media. As you can imagine, it’s a pretty wild and unclear situation overall.

Furthermore, when Hunxho and Keyshia Cole first started dating, the big narrative around them was their age gap. Then, when Gloss Up shared some flirty BTS pics with him at a music video shoot, things got way more spicy through some social media shade. Eventually, the North Carolina MC confirmed his relationship with the singer and made it clear that he wasn’t going to take that narrative any longer. Clearly, there’s still some consequences to contend with, but it’s all too vague and speculative to make a judgement call.

Gloss Up Blasts Her Boyfriend Over Hunxho Rumors

Beyond this scandal, though, Gloss Up is just having a normal rap career and making her way into other celebrity relationship drama. For example, last year’s single with Chrisean Rock, “N.A.L.B.,” saw the Baddies star diss her on-and-off-again boo Blueface quite heavily. Of course, that aged in an interesting way since they’re both currently in jail. If nothing else, it’s just a snapshot in a long and complicated photo album that became a jumbled and contradictory rollercoaster to witness.

Gloss’ Man Shares His Side Of The Story

As for Hunxho, he released the Before The Album EP recently, and before you get cheeky, it’s more creative than its title lets on. Nevertheless, he’s also chilling out these days beyond this Gloss Up drama. We’ll see whether there’s another chapter to all this or if it will remain in the rumor mill for the foreseeable future. We wouldn’t put anything past social media antics or Instagram Live rants, so let’s see what happens.

Kid Cudi Announces A Lead Horror Movie Role: “I’ve Been Waiting For This One Moment”

by

Kid Cudi is still dropping music these days, but it seems like he’s focusing more on his multimedia resumé these days. Moreover, he just announced via Twitter that he landed a lead role in an upcoming horror movie releasing in 2025, and while we don’t have a lot of details, it’s exciting and heartening news. “I cant wait to film this new flick im doin next year,” the Cleveland creative wrote. “Its my 3rd horror movie, and im the lead. Its a pretty f***in intense ride, and im ready show yall what im truly capable of. This whole time Ive been studyin as an actor waitin for this one moment. If u love horror movies, u will f***in love this.”

Furthermore, this follows Kid Cudi’s recent role in the M. Night Shyamalan thriller Trap, which saw him reunite with his good friend and actor Josh Hartnett. “TRAP written and directed by my good friend @mnight THE GOD,” the former THE SCOTTS collaborator had shared earlier this year. “Releases AUGUST 9th!!! I was givin the special honor to have a nice lil role in it, and I really think ull love it.

Night Shyamalan’s daughter, who also starred in the flick.

Meanwhile, Kid Cudi is still recovering from his Coachella accident, but through teasing his next album and all these media developments, he’s making sure that fans are at ease. Hopefully this process continues for him without further hiccups and he can get back on the road to perform with his die-hards. In any case, we’re exciting to see what this next horror acting gig brings next year. This filmography is rapidly growing, and we can only expect things to get better from here.

Lizzo’s Weight Loss Transformation Leads To Ozempic Rumors

by

Earlier this month, Lizzo went viral for showcasing her physical transformation with an inspiring before and after. The hitmaker is someone who’s known for being comfortable in her own skin, but fans were equally proud to see her prioritizing her health. Since then, she went on a trip to Bali with SZA and other close friends. This is where she announced that she’d be taking a year off.

“I’m taking a gap year & protecting my peace [prayer emoji],” she declared, sharing a clip of herself in the rain. Now, she’s shared even more content from her trip, this time posing in a flirty red bikini. “Itsy bitsy teeny weeny red designer string bikini,” she captioned the post.

Lizzo Stuns In Red Swimsuit

While supporters continue to praise Lizzo for her commitment to being her best self, others have started to question whether or not the gym is the only thing helping her on this journey. “Ozempic at work,” one Instagram user writes in the Hollywood Unlocked comments section. “Ozempic doin it’s job,” another says under her bikini clip. While there’s no actual evidence that Lizzo is using Ozempic, the anti-obesity medication has become a go-to explanation for celebrities losing weight. She’s far from the only one to be accused of using it as of late, as Ice Spice has also been making headlines for a similar situation.

The “Deli” rapper denies this and even hopped online yesterday to show off her gym routine in an attempt to prove these theories wrong. “We beatin them allegations bae,” she captioned the workout video, though it did little to stop those who are eager to jump to conclusions. What do you think of Lizzo continuing to show off her fitness transformation? What about social media users accusing her of using Ozempic? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

ScHoolboy Q Gives Doechii Her Flowers For Her New Mixtape

by

Doechii’s new mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal is probably the best project you’ll hear this week, and the Internet is absolutely loving it. Fans new and old are giving this record its due praise, expressing even more excitement for her career and for her next big splash. Moreover, the TDE signee got love from a lot of her hip-hop peers and from her label mates themselves, such as a recent tweet from ScHoolboy Q. “Just Here to say DOEcHii… dats all I care about at da moment,” he expressed. Many listeners certainly share that sentiment, with many remarking that we can expect some amazing things from her next album if this is just the mixtape stuff.

As such, Doechii is one of those rare careers in which the hype cycle around her only continues to grow rather than fall into question with each subsequent release. It’s definitely a lot of pressure, and one that many of her femcee peers are even more subjected to due to how fast their rises to fame are in public perception. But the “BOOM BAP” lyricist is different in that she seems to gain more fans with each move, developing her artistry and showing off her versatility with ease. These are even clear lyrical themes on Alligator Bites Never Heal, so we know that she is just as cognizant of this expectation.

But where other artists would rather replicate and retread, Doechii occupies multiple lanes and can make a hit out of a wealth of skills and talents. This is especially the case for her Swamp Sessions series, in which various songs display the sheer hunger and creativity beneath. “NISSAN ALTIMA” and “FLORIDA WATA” are easy standouts, and should be a part of any deep dive into this catalog.

Meanwhile, Doechii may have gotten ScHoolboy Q’s love this time around, but he doesn’t always take to social media to praise another celebrity (although that will probably always be the case for his label mate). Most recently, he took issue with Michael Rubin’s comments about Black culture on The Breakfast Club. It was a pretty controversial albeit well-meaning moment, so it’s no surprise that Q wanted to chime in. Hopefully, he finds more reasons to be happy and supportive on social media, because that’s what we all should do when antics and controversies don’t get in the way. In any case, stream Alligator Bites Never Heal, and you won’t want to fight online anymore.

Rick Ross Blasts 50 Cent For Siding With Drake Amid Kendrick Lamar Beef

by

Recently 50 Cent made some shady comments about his longtime foe Rick Ross on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast. He was asked why their feud had been going on for so long, prompting him to claim that Ross uses him for publicity. Fif insisted that he, on the other hand, makes headlines regardless. “Nothing else works for him,” he explained. “Outside of mentioning me. When things get bad, he mentions me, it gets covered… I get covered across the board, they get covered on the hip-hop blogs. It is what it is.”

Rozay eventually caught wind of the remarks and was quick to fire back. First, he took to DJ Akademiks’ comments section to write “Cuban Link [broken heart emoji].” This appears to have been a jab about 50 Cent’s ex, who was spotted with Travis Scott last month. Now, he’s taken to his Instagram Story to issue a formal response, and both Gillie and Drake caught strays.

In a clip, he brushes off 50 Cent’s comments about their feud and instead questions his loyalty to Dr. Dre. “I just seen a clip of the Wallo show where he was interviewing 50 Cent and the other little dude asked him a question, small talk,” he began. “But ultimately the question that should have been asked was, you jumped out there during the beef. The West Coast vs. the Canadian… And I thought Dr. Dre put you on. You mean you went with the Canadian over Dr. Dre? […] But you did shut the f*ck up once the Canadian took the L, you got totally quiet.”

Future Versus Meek Mill: Who’s The Better Rapper? Rory & Mal Start Viral Debate

by

Hip-hop debates over the best rappers, artists, crooners, and lyricists are the lifeblood of the culture in its casual, everyday state. That’s why we love rap podcasts and commentators: we feel like we’re just as relevant in the media conversation, although that’s often a false flag. Nevertheless, thanks to the latest episode of the New Rory & Mal podcast, hip-hop Twitter got a new debate topic to spend an hour or two within: is Future a better rapper than Meek Mill? The titular co-hosts and their colleagues went over a few metrics to determine this, as both MCs display wildly different styles. But they also have enough collaborative history to make this a fitting and appropriate comparison.

For example, Rory suggested that while Meek Mill is probably the better rapper, Future’s music surpasses Meek’s. “You think Future raps better than Meek?” Mal asked one of his co-hosts. “If you put a beat on right now and these n***as start rapping right here, you think Future’s gon’ out-rap Meek? We watched Meek with matted braids on the corners of Philly rap his way to a f***ing private jet. Future don’t rap better than that n***a, man. Not on no f***ing day of the year. Future? He make better songs, he’s a better artist.” Check out reactions to this debate in the replies of the post below.

“I also don’t think Future tries to rap better than Meek Mill,” Rory added. “Like, I just think he makes great music.” “Y’all getting disrespectful,” Mal added. “See, now I know why Meek gon’ slap the s**t out of some of y’all when he see y’all.” “I understand why he’s so mad on the Internet. They’re playing with his name,” Rory posited. “No, Meek gon’ slap the s**t of of some [of you],” Mal responded. “He going back to jail, I’ma just say it. Meek’s getting ready to catch a charge. He catching a charge! ‘Cause y’all n***as is getting disrespectful coming into the holidays.”

Who do you think is a better rapper: Future or Meek Mill? Let us know who you’d pick out of the “Giving Chanel” duo.

Drake Drops “No Face” On Streaming Services, But There’s A Disappointing Catch

by

The second wave of “100 GIGS” content is following its predecessor’s lead: drop some songs on IG and bring them to DSPs little by little. However, Drake’s new tracks have also fallen victim to some big changes and plan shifts during this process, and streaming didn’t even have to be a factor for this to happen. For example, when we heard a CDQ version of “Supersoak (SOD)” via the @plottttwistttttt IG burner account, we realized that it no longer featured Lil Yachty as that track’s original leak did. Now, we have another example of this. The Boy dropped the well-received “No Face” on streaming services on Saturday (August 31), but Playboi Carti is no longer on it.

Furthermore, this is pretty disappointing and mysterious, as there’s no identifiable reason as to why the Atlanta rage exponent isn’t on the track anymore. But it’s not like he washed Drake on the track. Playboi Carti’s contributions were already just a minimal hook, and his collaborator definitely steals the show with his verses an energy. Still, we can’t help but think back on those Atlanta bars on Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” and how they have aged somewhat poorly. Some name-dropped artists like Quavo support Drizzy to this day, but even though Carti escaped K.Dot’s mention this time around, this is objectively a failed attempt to get a few dollars, even if the reasoning behind the collaboration falling through probably has nothing to do with the beef or with the “colonizer” argument. At least he dropped “Circadian Rhythm” on DSPs…

Drake Drops A Playboi Carti-Less “No Face” On DSPs

In other Drake news, KAYTRANADA recently revisited the topic of why the OVO camp never reached out to him again to produce for Honestly, Nevermind. “[KAYTRANADA] was approached at a Coachella after-party in L.A. to make beats for Honestly, Nevermind,” a Vulture interview with the producer read. “Though he says it would have been ‘an honor,’ he later overheard that it fell through because his casual response — ‘Sure, hit me up’ — lacked fawning enthusiasm.” “Was I supposed to be like, ‘Oh my God, for real? Drake?’ I’m not like that,” he added.

Even though Drake hinted at this Playboi Carti collab landing on streaming in its full form, it seems like that didn’t work out. Or at least, not yet. It’s still possible that he will update more of these releases in the near future. After all, part of the strategy right now is hitting DSPs once the Internet takes these tracks for a test run and builds hype to influence its release methods and circumstances.
